Who needs Bariatric surgery? Dr Mahesh Channapppa | Bariatric Surgery Bangalore - Aster CMI Hospital
Bariatric surgery is mainly performed to help you lose excess weight and reduce your risk of life-threatening weight-related health problems, such as High blood pressure, Heart disease and stroke, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), Sleep apnea and Type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery is an option if you have severe obesity (BMI 35) and are unable to lose sufficient weight to improve your health using other methods or have serious health problems related to obesity. The surgery reduces the stomach size land sometimes changes the small intestine. Diagnostic tests: Before performing bariatric surgery, your surgeon will conduct the following investigations to assess your health condition.
- Chest X-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Blood studies - a complete blood count (CBC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), cortisol, creatinine, electrolytes, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
